Abstract
An image display system, e.g. for projection type displays, has an electrically addressed spatial light modulator or EASLM (1) and an optically addressed spatial light modulator or OASLM (5). An image formed on the EASLM (1) is transferred to a part of the OASLM (5) by an image transfer means (3) and the image produced by the OASLM (5) is formed from a plurality of successive images formed by the EASLM.
Description
The present invention relates to image display system.
The projection display, for example the lecture theater often uses the addressable spatial light modulator of electronics (EASLM).Spatial light modulator is a kind of equipment, and it spatially rather than in time modulates one or more compositions of non-uniform beam; EASLM can be defined as a spatial light modulator, and its element is connected with an electronic circuit and by this electronic circuit addressing.
It is very fast and various products have been arranged on market to be used for the EASLM technology maturation of the projection display; At present these products are based on two kinds of different technology:
Transparent TFT SLM;
Digital micromirror device (DMD).For example referring to " based on the projection display system of digital micromirror device " of J M Younse, the proceeding of SPIE, 2641 volumes, nineteen ninety-five.
Use the projection display of the EASLM of big relatively TFT-type to use a period of time.Yet they have all shortcomings (costliness, speed, activity coefficient or the like) of the technology of this kind shape.Use can overcome these shortcomings based on the EASLM of VLSI silicon base plate, and it provides major improvement on the quality of integrated circuit and manufacturing cost.Projection Display based on DMD is an example of such system; But, although can utilize this technology, it is still a kind of new and untested technology, and is undetermined about its actual cost.
It is possible using the demonstration of the third type of ferroelectric liquid crystals (FELC) on the VLSI silicon base plate, and except the type of cost and modulation, FELC technology and DMD technology are closely similar.Yet this method also exists problem, and some and DMD technology are same problems, mainly are, reaches the cost that very big picture size and resolution were difficult to and needed both expensive.Description for this technology can be referring to " Evolutionary Development of Advanced Liquid Crystal SpatialLight Modulators " (Application Optics 28 volumes of people such as for example NCollings, 22 phases, on November 15th, 89), and with reference to wherein content.
According to the present invention, a kind of image generating device is provided, comprise addressable spatial light modulator device of electronics that can form image and an addressable spatial light modulator device of light that is used to produce image, and image transfer apparatus that is used for image is relayed to from the addressable spatial light modulator device of electronics the addressable spatial light modulator device of light, wherein the image of the addressable spatial light modulator device generation of light forms from a plurality of continuous images, and these a plurality of continuous images are formed by the addressable spatial light modulator device of electronics.
The addressable spatial light modulator of light (OASLM) is a kind of spatial light modulator, and its each element is an optical nonlinearity by this way, i.e. the illumination of a light will influence the effect of element to second light.Because it is the light addressing, so it can comprise that a very smooth reflecting surface is used for projection.EASLM is pixelation normally, an array of the liquid crystal cell of electrode by suitable quadrature or circuit addressing for example, EASLM is only produced final image as a pixel generator and from OASLM, forms high-quality smooth front end thus, have various advantages:
Spendable manufacturing OASLM technology is quite simple and cheap;
Except expensive surprising EASLM, the size of OASLM and optical quality are greater than this type of size of devices and optical quality (OASLM does not need to have the distribution that is positioned at pixel under and can use very high-quality cold light to deposit mirror) that may be all; In addition, the image cost economically that the protection display need be regional greatly is more actual compared with the EASLM of movable floor;
The additional treatments of image can be finished (seeing below) by transmitting electro-optical device; With
Avoided the high illumination intensity of EASLM.
In addition, even for the color display system of a frame sequence, EASLM equipment also is only need be with monochromatic light work.Therefore, the performance of EASLM and light delivery can be optimized this operation wavelength, can developing low-cost diffraction and holographic optical elements (HOE).
The description of OASLM is people's such as face and D Williams " An Amorphous Silicon/Chiral Smectic Spatial Light Modulator " as follows, Joint of Physics D, 21 volumes, 1988 years.
Because the addressing speed that EASLM can work has surpassed the speed of the needs of image demonstration, EASLM can use high addressing speed to be created on the part subsequently that OASLM goes up the final image that produces.Each continuous images that is produced by EASLM is written to a divided portion that is used to show the OASLM that drives with suitable addressing speed.So just can under the situation that does not increase the EASLM size, increase the resolution of display system.
From the image of EASLM can be on the different piece of OASLM the order imaging so that set up final image.In any one time, image transfer apparatus can offer the image from EASLM one or more parts of OASLM.Image transfer apparatus can comprise the optical beam steering device, can adjust to image the part of the expectation of OASLM.As well known to those of ordinary skill in the art, the optical beam steering device can be any proper device that is used for image is moved to the expectation part of OASLM.In addition, EASLM and image transfer apparatus can comprise the array of a conveyer, are used for the different piece of image transfer to OASLM, and each conveyer in this array has a device, be used for when not needing to transmit, forbid image is sent to that part of OASLM.
In a preferred embodiment, from the imaging simultaneously and only on the part that OASLM is addressed, receive image on a plurality of different part of OASLM of the image of EASLM.The advantage that can have simple and fixing image transfer apparatus like this is sent to OASLM to the image from EASLM such as the array that uses lens.Because only part of O ASLM is addressed, thereby that part of reception image of OASLM only.When next image was presented on the EASLM, this new image was with repeatedly imaging on OASLM again.The part that OASLM is different will be addressed, thereby this part receives the image from EASLM.
In another preferred embodiment, OASLM can store or the maintenance image sections by equipment, is written into up to all images.This can realize by using the charge-trapping in light-sensitive device, know to those skilled in the art in the display mode of memory or transient response time in having in OASLM.The higher complexity image can be read and not have deterioration problem.Remain on then that data on the OASLM are eliminated and new data are written into, perhaps legacy data can be read repeatedly.
Preferably, EASLM is in conjunction with a movable floor and comprise the transistorized array of crystalline silicon of an addressing liquid crystal layer, so that produce the EASLM image, and OASLM is a kind of liquid crystal layer and a kind of light-sensitive element layer that is sandwiched between a pair of transparent conductor.In order to eliminate the influence of the light modulated of output light retroeflection to the OASLM, can between liquid crystal and light-sensitive element layer, comprise a specular layer.This can be made of the metal level or laminates glug (Bragg) speculum of pixelation.Comprise that in OASLM photoresist layer also is good to the performance of system.
Image transfer apparatus can advantageously be suitable for handling the image from EASLM.Conveyer can comprise a light information processor between EASLM and OASLM; For example this processor can be a hologram, such as known a kind of glass plate of delineating.Use hologram can allow the size of image and resolution multiplied.The coordination EASLM that uses in the reality and OASLM's so as the multiplexed circuit of image space (separating) that OASLM is gone up projection also can control light information processor.
Using under this quite simple situation of incoherent light, image transfer apparatus can use a lens combination that the EASLM image preferably is sent to OASLM enlargedly simply.In addition, by using a plurality of EASLM can also further strengthen resolution.
Preferably, this image display system is a color display system, and wherein EASLM works in monochromatic light.Make image from the EASLM monochromatization, image transfer apparatus can be simple relatively.By produce an order image from OASCM, synchronously OASCM is gone up this image that forms and to obtain colored the demonstration by a specific colour filter.
For a better understanding of the present invention, will with giving an example embodiments of the invention be described with reference to the accompanying drawings by combination now, wherein:
Fig. 1 represents the block diagram of the application of a projection display of the present invention;
Fig. 2 represents the details of this device part;
Fig. 3 represent this device a kind of form plane graph and
Fig. 4 shows the work of Fig. 3 equipment.
Fig. 5 represents to have from high-brightness projection light and utilizes the EASLM projection that EASLM is amplified in a optical projection system on the OASLM.
Fig. 6 is a modification to Fig. 5, uses a refractive array that multiple image is provided on the OASLM from EASLM.
Fig. 7 is another modification to Fig. 5, represents a plurality of EASLM imaging on OASLM.
Fig. 1 represents to be used for one of whole device of Projection Display very schematically diagram, comprise an EASLM1, be used to generate view data, transmit electro-optical device 3, just image is handled if desired and it is offered OASLM5, with projected light device 10, the shinny source reflection that leaves OASLM on screen 12.
EASLM is an image composer, that is to say, it converts (electronics) view data to actual image.Because in fact final image is not the projection of leaving EASLM, simple light quality is not most important.This is favourable, because, although can bring up to a higher level to the light quality of EASLM, needing extra processing and reduced total revenue, this can increase the unit cost of EASLM.In this example, EASLM itself uses and has semiconductor (" the active ") backplane technology of liquid crystal as optical modulator.
Under the situation of incoherent light device, the amplification to OASLM can realize by a kind of simple lens combination; The magnification ratio of all requirements is 2 times or similar, because this can be commeasurable about 2 square centimeters from about 1 square centimeter standard flim that is increased to 35mm with the area of image, and 1 square centimeter of silicon chip is the maximum sized silicon chip that can easily make.Because big silicon equipment is expensive, so the size of the silicon display element in the general-purpose display system is main restriction, but mini-plant can cause low drop shadow effect.The increase of this projected image size can increase the effect of projector light system and need not increase the cost of silicon display element.
The same incoherent light that uses by using the combination of beam splitter or prism, also can utilize copying image in principle.Yet, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, from only relevant and beam replication holography of EASLM and adopted amplification.
When using coherent light, transmit the CGH that electro-optical device 3 comprises suitable a plurality of lens and represents phase grating, reproduce in the copy lattice of image on OASLM from EASLM.
Optical modulator such as EASLM, is binary mostly.Yet, both made and adopted the binary modulated device various mimic effects (gray scale) also can occur.And EASLM may be the emission type device (for example VCSEL array or other emission optical tech) that is different from reflection and transmission.(VCSEL=Vcsel).These equipment also can be binary or simulation.In addition, the EASLM technology is not used in particular for this application, and it can produce gray level image by arbitrarily known technology, comprise gray modulation, the space and the shake time.
Transmit electro-optical device 3 and in this system, play important effect.They can be that be concerned with or incoherent, but coherent light allows to use more treatment technology, such as:
The copying image that the hologram (CGH) that generates by using a computer carries out is (referring to people's such as Dames " Efficient Optical Elements to Generate Intensity Weighted Spot Arrays ", Applied Optics, 30 volumes, 19 phases, on July 1st, 1991).In the method, it is relevant to leave the image that the image projection of OASLM can be at random generates with EASLM, although maximum in actual applications be simple 2 * 2 or 3 * 3 the array that duplicates;
Space color filter, edge enhancing etc.;
Optical correlation; With
Image amplifies (except copying image or alternative image duplicate).For the incoherent light device, this mode also is possible.
In addition, transmitting electro-optical device can be sent to the image that leaves a plurality of EASLM among the identical OASLM, so as to give than with single EASLM the bigger image of obtainable image.
In most practical applications, OASLM5 is a kind of electrical-optical equipment, utilizes liquid crystal as optical modulator.Schematically show so a kind of equipment among Fig. 2.Here, a liquid crystal modulating layer 25 and a light-sensitive element (for example amorphous silicon) or photoelectric conductor layer 29 are clipped in respectively in the middle of the glass substrate 21,33 together, transmit the electrode 23,31 that the transparent ITO by routine constitutes and have supply power voltage.
In use " write " light beam 41 input usually directly in the upper end of the light-sensitive element end of OASLM, for example, the light-sensitive element end of OASLM passes the substrate 33 of upper end and goes forward side by side into photoconductor.
" reading " light beam 43 simultaneously is transfused to below figure.Write light beam 41 and shine light-sensitive element 29, the latter becomes conductor, and conductive area is then as the electrode of liquid crystal layer 25 at that.Then, when reading light beam 43 process LC and being reflected to the light-sensitive element interface, this part of liquid crystal modulated then and read light beam 43.
The OASLM of shown preferred form further is included in a pixel mirror 27 between light-sensitive element 29 and the LC25, because this makes this equipment projection to go out a high luminous power.This layer will cover in high strength fully and read the irradiation of light to light-sensitive element; Like this, the OASLM of this type is a genuine light valve door, because " writing " light beam and " reading " light beam separate.
For preventing that image from by " short circuit ", being necessary with mirror pixelsization or segmentation.The final pixel effect of image will be limited by the pixel of OASLM rather than the pixel of EASLM.Therefore, the quality importance of EASLM image little (for the quality of final projected image) supposes that image writes enough quality are arranged on the OASLM.And the pixel effect of EASLM does not need with the pixel effect of OASLM relation is arranged in principle.Yet, preferably between EASLM and OASLM pixel, arrange one-to-one relationship.
This OASLM also can be the modulator of a kind of binary system or simulation.At equipment is under binary situation, utilizes the dither technique time or the space of standard can form gradation of image.Use the place of copying image in transmitting electro-optical device, it is necessary forming figure by this way on the transparent conductor 23 or 31 of at least one side of OASLM, promptly is electrically insulated from each other by the zone from the OASLM of each duplicating image addressing of EASLM.This processing has defined big " little pixel ", the corresponding EASLM image that duplicates of each little pixel, and as shown in Figure 3, the work of little pixel is indicated among Fig. 4.Like this, only electrode district 31a connects in image 1, in next lattice, and image 2, only electrode district 31b connects, or the like; Afterwards, final image is made up of four quadrants, shown in final image.
The advantage of OASLM mainly contains two aspects:
Quality: the OASLM of high optical quality is comparatively cheap compared with the EASLM of equal in quality; With
In conjunction with transmitting electro-optical device, big many of the possible size that the picture size that the OASLM projection goes out can projection than from EASLM goes out.This means that this Projection Display based on this system will be better than the optical efficiency of the system of a VLSI silicon base plate of direct use EASLM projection.
Projecting optical device 10 can be a standard, and different is that the image that forms is reflection rather than transparent.In addition, Optical devices can use a Glan-Thompson type beam splitter to connect same general projecting lens.It is the color of frame sequential mostly that final image forms technology, because can save equipment like this and make Optical devices simpler and more accurate (not having the colored problem that focuses on).Yet it also is possible using a plurality of equipment and color channel.By the rotary color rotating disk, use solid-state colored optical gate or utilize look to divide the look separation scheme of mirror can generate colour.
Obviously, the present invention goes for these systems, such as:
The simple and easy projection display system that is used for family, auditorium or lecture theater,
The back projection type projection display system,
Large-screen/high definition TV,
The automatic stereo display system; And even
The optical clear telecommunication switching system.
Visible image not only represented in the word that uses among the application " image ", but the light pattern of any modulation comprises phase diagram.Therefore, the main application of the present invention is a projection optics, but it goes for many other image processing demands, for example N * N fiber switch.One 4 * 4 switch will be worked by this way: a CGH will be presented on the OASLM in an identical mode of picture frame, use 2 * 2 to duplicate; Each quadrant will show a different switch (perhaps Beam Control) hologram like this; If each optical fiber of four input optical fibres is directly aimed at a quadrant, then four input beams can be with different direction diffraction so that direct projection to four a different output optical fibre dividually; 4 * 4 switches have so just been realized.
Embodiments of the invention can provide a large amount of patterns to repeat.Be used for the CGH of Beam Control and the repetition (unit cell) that other application generally comprises a large amount of single pixel patterns.In single EASLM image, can hold the repetition of quantification.Yet by using the copying image technology of the transmission electro-optical device in the native system, the number of iterations of elementary cell can improve greatly, produces better efficient.For example:
The elementary cell of hologram: 16 * 16 pixels;
EASLM: 256 * 256 pixels, therefore elementary cell repeats 16 times on each direction;
Transmit electro-optical device: 3 * 3 duplicate; Therefore:
The OASLM hologram: each direction repeats for 48 times.
For example, in a projector scope, can use book copying to resolution given on EASLM is resolution with the quantity that increases the OASLM image pixel.
As shown in Figure 5, under the control of control unit 54, an EASLM51 is by row 52 and row 53 driver addressing.In this case, EASLM51 has the separately x of addressed pixel, y matrix.Show that for monochrome all pixels can be similar, but the size of pixel can be different, so that utilize the different group of different big or small pixels to provide a space gray scale to show.In addition, pixel can with three be one group, each group has red, green and blue painted pixel.
EASLM51 can be equipment transmission or reflection, by its output imaging on the OASLM56 of large-size of imaging len 55.In example formerly, OASLM has the x of pixel separately, y matrix, separately or one group of pixel on the corresponding EASLM of pixel.From the light of EASLM output the liquid crystal material the OASLM is carried out switch.Formed the demonstration on the OASLM56 by each pixel gathering, each pixel is the wherein a kind of of two states, for example reflection or absorption.In addition, for gray-scale monitor, each pixel can be with different absorption levels.
By a beam splitter 58 a high power projected light 57 is reflexed to the front of OASLM, selectively be reflected on the screen 60 by projecting lens 59 subsequently, so that spectators watch.
When causing generation image and direct projection, EASLM51 on OASLM56, when on OASLM, having formed the demonstration of an amplification, can observe a Projection Display.This makes and obtains visible image by the light beam that selectively reflects projecting apparatus 57 from OASLM56 at screen 60.Show that for monochrome demonstration can be for example static demonstration of text, perhaps the video-type of frame sequential image shows.With with OASLM and beam splitter between red, green and blue look colour filter conversion synchronization ground the frame sequential projection imaging of three kinds of different monochrome images on screen, so just can be extended to the colour demonstration.The image of these three kinds of different colours must be higher than certain flicker threshold value (approximately per second 30 frames) so that spectators can receive multicolor image.In addition, if the pixel of EASLM itself has formed colored demonstration, then can directly project to colour OASLM and project to screen 60 subsequently.
Fig. 6 represents to arrange a plurality of images of EASLM51 are offered the replica lens array 61 of OASLM56.Other part of this system is identical with Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 represents the array of EASLM 62,63, all imagings on OASLM56 of each array.As directed each EASLM 62,63 is relevant with an imaging len 64,65, but also can have an array as shown in Figure 6.Use a plurality of EASLM to allow EASLM51 is used different frame rate with OASLM56.
